A few days ago, I posted about waking up with a swollen lip.  In which I talk about facial swelling and silly drama over health cards )

Feeling so much better now.  Had a sudden migraine hit a couple hours ago.  Luckily I installed an "If Migraine Emergency: Break Glass" kit in my bathroom, so some drugs and a nap helped immensely!  :D  

As for my face, I'm headed to an urgent care clinic tomorrow morning, so hopefully good things will come of that.  So far, I have eliminated mumps and smashing my face into something hard (swelling in the wrong places and no bruises or broken nose, respectively).

I'm finally feeling more human, after 2 days of feeling like a beast.  Time to get going on the chapter that was due today (whoops!), since I'm actually feeling inspired to write.

(ETA: And the Heather Word Of The Day is: FEELING.  Repeat after me kids: feeling.)

Just as soon as I brew a pot of coffee.  :)

Cheers all!

I've had an email sitting in my university email account since yesterday afternoon, and I've been terrified to open it.  It was feedback from the Super on Chapter 1.  I finally worked up the nerve to read it, and am now nearly in tears.

It's all good feedback.  She's really happy with it, and says it only needs some minor touch-ups here and there. 

*takes a moment*

Writing is really hard for me.  It's like pulling teeth to get it out, every time, and I'm terrified of being judged for my writing skills.  I know that I can do a good job when I spend the time on it and really work hard on it, but I'm wildly self-conscious of people reading my writing.  Plus my procrastination tendencies don't often leave me with a lot of time to spend on it, although the pressure usually helps get it onto the page (which is why I appreciated using my own version of NaNoWriMo to help with this).

Still, this is good.  I know it needs a bit more work, and I'm going to see if my best buddy will read it over, just to make sure it's sensible to a non-geochemist (plus she's a grammar fiend).  But...it's one chapter down.  Many to go, but it's coming along, and my tears and smile are testament to that.  :' )
